Developing Methodologies for the Investigation of Free-living Amoeba as a Tool for Pathogen Surveillance on Dairy Farms and Aquaculture [PDF]

, 2014
Free-living amoeba are phagocytic protozoans that act as environmental reservoirs, a protective niche, and a vehicle for transmission for amoeba-resistant bacterial pathogens.

Crawling under the radar: Two novel Paulinella species expand knowledge about the ecology and evolution of a primary plastid‐containing amoeba lineage

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Paulinella represents a rare, independent case of primary endosymbiosis, providing a unique system to study the early stages of organelle evolution. Here, we expand current understanding of primary plastid endosymbiosis through the discovery and characterization of two novel photosynthetic amoebae, Paulinella marae sp. nov.

Minor Risk to Contract Metazoan Parasites via the Consumption of Edible Snails, Born and Reared in France

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a context of food security of animal consumption and diversification of protein sources, we have studied the risks to contract metazoan parasites through the consumption of ‘gros‐gris’ snails (Cornu aspersum maximum) sampled in 12 French farms.

Effects of harmful cyanobacteria on the freshwater pathogenic free-living amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii

, 2013
Grazing is a major regulating factor in cyanobacterial population dynamics and, subsequently, considerable effort has been spent on investigating the effects of cyanotoxins on major metazoan grazers. However, protozoan grazers such as free-living amoebae
